9. Such a sacrifice (I)

After Liu Lili finished saying that, she didn't say anything anymore, but just took Xia Zhi to find a table and sit down. Instead, he chatted enthusiastically with the other people at the table.

This gesture was obviously deliberate, she was expressing dissatisfaction, dissatisfied with Xia Zhi's carelessness and unconvinced.

Xia Zhi, who was left out in the cold, was also happy, watching all directions and listening to all directions.

It's tiring to chat all the time, okay? Finally, I can stay quietly, and I can also take advantage of the gap to collect some information.

Xia Zhi is now more and more curious about this town. Hopefully, when the time comes, everything will be revealed, and she won't be disappointed.

At noon, the sun hung straight in the sky.

At this time, the mayor of the town, who had disappeared after the worship, was dressed in a white robe and stood straight below the sun.

The white robe reflects the light under the sunlight, and if you look closely, you can see that the white robe is embroidered with silver silk thread with the same mural of the Wishing Immortal Hall. It is the silver thread that reflects the sunlight.

Opposite the mayor, kneeling were three young men who had been tied up with flowers. To his right and left stood a man in a white hooded robe. Their white robes also have the same pattern, but they are not as rich and rich as the mayor.

The moment they appeared, the originally lively lobby instantly became silent. Everyone's eyes looked at the scene in front of them intently and obsessively, with solemn expressions, and words in their mouths.

Unlike the whispering and go-to of the morning. This time, it's a big recitation.

“#ī¸ŊīšŒâ•­ī¸ēΡâ€Ļâ€Ļ”

It's good, Xia Zhi doesn't understand, she only knows that it's quite nice and charming.

As the recitation of the town's people's congress gradually improved, a mysterious energy poured out from the townspeople, gathered, dispersed, and then went to an unknown place.

"She can't find out where this energy is going, she can't decipher its essence, and she doesn't know what it does!"

Xia Zhi put away the contempt in his heart, and his expression became more and more solemn. This made Liu Lili, who always paid attention to her, very satisfied, but Xia Zhi was shocked by the brilliance of his ancestor.

What a beautiful misunderstanding.

The recitation did not last long, and as soon as it stopped, the mayor took out a retro bell in his hand, and after shaking it three times, several stout and powerful men carried up a large black tripod and placed it between the mayor and the three kneeling people. After putting it down, they bowed three times before returning to the crowd in a backward way.

Look at the black lacquer, smooth and delicate body, which has never reflected in the sun. Xia Zhi was sure that this mouth was the one that was pressed by their ancestor god statue!

"The first ancestors had spirits! God bless my people! The mayor shouted loudly as he knelt down towards Da Ding in a five-body posture.

"The Ancestors Had Spirits!! God bless my people!! The whole town followed and bowed. Even the three people who had been tied up did the same.

Xia Zhi...... Xia Zhi seemed to be shocked, and stood there without moving. Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to her parents, other people's ancestors have nothing to do with her.

"Recently, a monster suddenly appeared in the town, thank you for the blessing of the ancestors, God loves our people, and everyone is safe and sound. But the matter was not completely resolved.

The holy book manifests itself and informs us that we may the fairy festival come, and sacrifice to the chosen one, so that we can live in peace.

Later, a prophecy book appeared in my room, and the contents of the book are familiar to everyone.

For thousands of years, our people have lived in this town for generations, without disease or disaster, and now, for the sake of peace in the future, we have chosen them according to the conditions of the Book of Prophecy!

But! They want to run away! ”

The mayor's voice was serious and deep, and he spoke neither fast nor slow, with an inexplicable solemnity. But when the three kneeling people in front of him were mentioned, his tone was ruthless and ruthless.

"Severe punishment! It must be punished severely! The emotions of the masses below were immediately stimulated, and their eyes were red and their expressions were impressive.

"Quiet!"

The prestige of the mayor was vividly reflected at this time, and the audience was as quiet as a chicken.

"After the sacrifice, it will definitely be punished severely! In addition, we would like to thank one person, as an outsider, who was willing to help us complete this ritual smoothly!

Miss Xia, God bless you! ”

After speaking, the mayor took the lead and put his right hand on his chest, and saluted Xia Zhi.

That's right, Xia Zhi agreed to Liu Lili's request and contributed to their sacrifice.

At first, it was Xia Zhi who asked Liu Lili about the fact that there were no cashiers and waiters in the Blue Butterfly Hotel.

Liu Lili unabashedly explained that the Blue Butterfly Hotel was unmanaged because she was waiting for someone who was destined. Then he used this as an excuse to propose that he was willing to pay for her to help, and said that as long as she participated in the Wishing Immortal Festival, she would help.

It doesn't matter if the money is not money, and it is useless to leave or right, Xia Zhi is even more curious about what the trend of this matter is. So Xia Zhi agreed to stay and participate in the Wishing Immortal Festival without money.

The mayor's sudden solemn thanks made Xia Zhi a little confused, could it be that he was thinking too much?

"Miss Xia will put this jade in the Holy Ding later."

The mayor's left protector walked up to Xia Zhi's side, handed over a piece of jade, and at the same time bent down respectfully and made a gesture of please. Take her to the mayor as a sign of respect.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~~~"

The bell rang, and the ancient worship ceremony ushered in the most critical moment.

Offerings!

Several majestic and stout townspeople stepped forward and suppressed the three people who were kneeling in front of the Holy Ding, their eyes were red when they heard the bell, and they began to struggle continuously, and their mouths were roaring.

"Shut up! It's an honor for you to be a sacrifice! ”

They struggled like trapped beasts, and in the eyes of the townspeople, they didn't know what to do! They should feel honored and proud, and this is a blessing that they have cultivated in an unknown number of lifetimes!

The three people, who were completely suppressed and had no ability to resist, were gagged, and could only roar from the depths of their throats, saw that there was no way to escape, and as if they had accepted their fate, they unloaded all their strength and collapsed to the ground. Only the endless hatred, pain, and struggle in their eyes tell their unwillingness.

Xia Zhi happened to be standing opposite them, and all their emotional changes were naked in her eyes.

Such a sacrificial ritual is too cruel! This is a cult and ignorance!

"Mayor Mare...... You're too cruel for me to help you. You'd better stop this kind of behavior, otherwise, although I, Xia Zhi, am not a big energy person, it's still okay to destroy this Dading. ”

In the end, Xia Zhi's always cold tone was threatening.

"Hahahaha...... Miss Xia is really kind-hearted and courageous! ”

Xia Zhi knew how much the people in the town attached importance to this sacrificial ceremony and how much they cherished Dading, otherwise they would not have used it as a threat.

I thought that the mayor and the townspeople who were threatened and scolded would be enraged and attack him en masse. I didn't expect to be praised by the mayor with a smile on his face, and he was very sincere?

Xia Zhi was at a loss, more dazed than the strange thing she was sleeping in her backpack and snoring.

"Miss Xia must have a lot of doubts. Presumably Liu Lili told you about the fate of the person. Our people have lived in this town for generations, because of the protection of the ancestral gods, for thousands of years, the people who can enter the town are all good and upright people.

In our generation, no one has entered, but who doesn't know whether these are true or false. That's why there was this temptation. Sending Liu Lili close to you is also the intention.

Now it seems that we have the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman. Miss Xia, don't blame, when the ceremony is completed, I will be at your disposal! ”

After speaking, the mayor looked at Xia Zhi, and he was about to bow down with his hand, his expression sincere and sincere.

Xia Zhi raised his hand to stop the mayor from bending down, looked around with peach blossom eyes, paused for a few more seconds when he looked at the three kneeling people, and then looked at the mayor in front of him with kind eyebrows and sincere feelings.
